They clearly believe they can scare the Iranian regime into capitulating. They want to be able to go in and take the oil without committing troops on the ground. These are not intelligent people. The Iranian regime are cruel tyrants, but they are not stupid. They will wait us out.
Sun and wind don’t need the Strait of Hormuz.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Out grabbing lunch. Overhearing boomers regale each other with tales of the good old days when Bob slapped Brenda from the typing pool on the bum when she was bent over getting water. “Oh Bob!” she said. Per Bob, “Everyone thought it was funny!

None of this needed to happen. None of it. Thank your local broligarch for ensuring it did.
None of this is about what they’re telling you it’s about. None of it.
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
Invoking the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to make a version of Claude that can conduct mass domestic surveillance and operate murderbots is psychotic
every olympic sport should have one heat for dogs
Wow.
Remember, the GOP isn’t afraid of voter fraud. They’re scared of voter accuracy.
Super Bowl ads dominated by AI and GLP-1s suggest our corporate overlords think we are living in the WALL-E future, but actually we are living in the Andor past.
"So...I got nothing for you here."
Cheers to the honesty of this announcer watching the Pats just continue to dissolve like a packet of jello.
Basically Ring advertised the technology Batman used to find the Joker that Lucius Fox refused to be a part of except for that one time.
Serious shout-out also to the producers of that halftime show. Just incredible camera work, staging and well, all of it. #SuperBowlLX
Silicon Valley accurately predicted the vibe coding era.
everything is terrible so here’s the swedish chef doing rapper’s delight
It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.
Every American needs to watch this:
The robber barons had humanities educations. The tech barons did not.
And those are just the charged crimes. They’re committing uncharged crimes daily right now.
This says more about America than it does about the criminal it elected.
Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.
Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.
